So Stressed...please help

[disneylovinmom3]

I am so stressed as you can probably tell...lol. I've been trying to plan a trip for months and due to an unhelpful husband am no closer. I am supposed to book a trip on January 6th but still have no details.

I would like to go sometime between mid October and December 2016. I have three kids who will be 2, 3, and 8 at the time of the trip. I want to stay in a Value or moderate, depending on free dining, discounts and what hotels are available. I have been once and my husband has been three times but this will be our first trip together and as a family, so I have no idea what to do.

The things that are important to us are low crowds and lower costs, if it happens to fall into a time where free dining is usually offered then that's icing on the cake. If you can offer any help as far as when during that period of time we should go and which of the moderates or values we should stay at I would be so appreciative. Oh also we are looking at checking in on a Thursday afternoon and leaving on either the next Saturday or Sunday, so a 9-10 night trip.

TIA

Free dining for 2015 was not offered very much during the time you specified. I believe they offered it the last week of October, possibly one week mid November and then December 15th to 21st. There is no telling when it will be offered this year but might be some of the same dates. Keep in mind with free dining your 2 year old will have to eat off of your plates and does not have his or her own dining plan. As for where to stay, we loved Port Orleans. You can get a room in the Alligator Bayou area that has a pull-down trundle bed, so you can comfortably fit 5 in the room. Discounts have not been released for the fall yet, but usually Port Orleans does offer 20 to 25 percent off if you go with a room discount only. Hope some of that helps!!

Thank you so much for the help. After looking into The Alligator Bayou Room I think you are right that would be a great option for us.
